A 25 point win against #4.  Electric crowd @ the XL Center. Had the feeling of watching a Championship caliber team.

We started out running good cuts on offense 
and then with Diarra’s insertion our defense picked up as everyone increased their intensity level.

We had 18 more rebounds than Marquette and 15 more assists.  Those statistics matter.

Clingan, Newton and Spencer filling the boxscore, also had good games.  Stewart again  showed signs  that he can be a very good player.

As good as our offense is half court when we play lockdown defense as we did late in the first half that turbo charges our offense.

It is always great to see the former players come back and Andre Jackson, AJ  and Emeka came back today  !

Alex did not have his best shooting game today, but it had zero impact on the other aspects of his game. A sign of a poise, professional player.

I like how Tristen uses his body to protect the ball and uses his body as leverage to get loose balls. A skill casual fans may not appreciate but it help us win.

Donovan when he fully bends his knees almost always makes his foul shots. Once he settles into a foul line routine he will be a good foul shooter.  I thought today he also went for less shot upfakes, a good sign.
